New Year's Professional Growth Resolutions
  • SHORT TERM - Some sort of technology integrating lesson or activity you want to do with your students THIS MONTH.
  • LONG TERM - A major change in the way you teach or manage your classroom. "I want to do less of THAT and more of THIS." It could include a blog, a wiki, a web site used for flipping your classroom, going paperless with Google Docs, using digital portfolios for student work, integrating project based learning using a specific tool or tools - there are many possibilities. Think of something you've seen so far this year that makes you "spark" and think, "Yeah! I want to do more of THAT!"
